Say what you want about the movie, but the Tomcat in "Top Gun" did more for
naval aviation than any other single thing. That's a pretty extreme statement, Jay. What do you mean by "more"? And since you didn't include "IMHO," what evidence can you offer? Some folks, perhaps older than you, might say the Battle of Midway (the battle, in 1942, not the movie) did more. Or perhaps even the movie, error-ridden as it was. Or the movie "The Fighting Lady," which you may never have seen or even heard of. It was made of actual combat footage. Or the Blue Angels. Or Al Williams. There was naval aviation, keep in mind, long, long, long, before that silly Top Gun movie. Heck, some historians might say Glenn Curtiss did more. vince norris The navy got their money's worth, times ten, from the F-14.
